Steven A. Schroeder, MD, distinguished professor of Health and Health Care, Department of Medicine at UCSF, will address "Lessons from the Prevention Wars." Schroeder trained in internal medicine at the Harvard Medical Service of Boston City Hospital and in epidemiology as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Salvatore Pablo Lucia, a UCSF faculty member for 53 years, was a distinguished physician and medical educator. Lucia joined the UCSF faculty in 1932 after graduating first in his class. In 1956, he became chair of the newly created Department of Preventive Medicine, a position he held until his retirement. His ecological views of disease and its prevention were often far ahead of his times and today are an integral part of the fields of epidemiology and preventive medicine.
